Win Playland tickets! Get social with LoHud to enter

Mary Ann Crouse submitted the photo you see here, winning one of four 4-packs of tickets (wristbands, really) that we’re giving away good for admission to Rye Playland.

We’ve got three more to give away, but you’ll have to earn them! Luckily it’s not all that hard.

Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Vine and share a comment, photo or video that tells us why you want to win. We’re looking for the most creative entries. We saw a great haiku and some funny comments but Vine and Instagram offer intriguing video possibilities, and a nostalgic tale of Playland visits of yore are sure to stir us. Including fireworks over the next few days wouldn’t be a bad idea either, we suspect.

You’ll need to like or follow us on the social network you choose for your entry.

To be sure we see your entries, post your Facebook entries on our timeline at facebook.com/lohud. On Twitter or Instagram use the hashtag #lohudPlayland. All Instagrams and Vines must be shared on either Twitter or Facebook.

We’ll pick a winner each Monday for the next four weeks and publish submissions on LoHud.com! The first entries are due by the end of the day Sunday, July 7. We’ll pick the first week’s winner on Monday, July 8.

The ticket packs each contain four wrist bands valued at $30 apiece and are good all season for a full day of access to rides at the main park and Kiddyland.

Note: Enter as often as you like. There are no prize substitutions, so be sure you can make it to the park if you win. You must own the rights to any photos or videos you submit; by entering you consent for us to republish as we see fit. We’ll contact you via the social network by which you entered and arrange to either mail the passes or have you pick them up at our offices during normal business hours. If we can’t reach a winner in a timely fashion, we reserve the right to award prizes to another entrant. For park details: Go to RyePlayland.org.
